After 4 long months

One more set back. I reckon the fuel pump would not hold pressure so he is replacing that with a new one. So we shall see what happens.

Now hopefully the 2000 some odd k Trans doesn't give up on me.

Dreams dashed by them not being able to get the car to run.

I don't think they have the capability to tune the ecm. They say it needs a new computer.

 

[thingraylinetah]

So i discussed things with my mechanic.

1. Order a new motor with like 5 year warranty and replace it. (If the ecm is bad though then this wouldn't work anyways
.2. Buy a new computer and have it installed and tune. (I think would be the cheapest way to go labor wise).
3. Scrap the whole piece of whale

"1. Order a new motor with "like" 5 year warranty"......

What does that mean? Is it a 5 year warranty or LIKE a 5 year warranty? C'mon man!


I am channeling my inner "OTTO" Anderson.....

When you say "not run" what do you mean?

Apparently my dad must have been drunk or misunderstood cuz i called dude today and he said it needed a tune and I said I'm aware of that and he said well I can't tune it. So, I either gotta let him find someone to tune it or I gotta go get it and bring it back here and have it tuned. I'm thinking about having it tuned here.

I tried to tell them all this (my dad and his mechanic) before but no one listened.

I sent the build paperwork along with it.

They got all the rust out of the motor and said it cleaned up super nice. I told them while it was out to take out the stage 3 btr cam and put in a truck Norris or stage 1 cam. They didn't do that either.

Since it's going to be a daily driver I'd rather have a little more economy.
